I'm a Hazelnut

HAZELNUT TREE (Extraordinary) - charming, undemanding, very understanding, knows how to make an impression, active fighter for social cause, popular, moody, and capricious lover, honest, and tolerant partner, precise sense of judgment.

Some I think are quite true, others I'm not sure about!  I can certainly make an impression and am honest, not sure about my judgment or my charm though!!

I've just googles hornbeam tree.

American Hornbeam
Common names, Musclewood, Ironwood, Bluebeech and Waterbeech.  Horn for toughness and beam an old English word for "tree" and refers to this tree's very hard, tough wood.

Leaves similar to beech, thin and beautifully translucent.  However there are many leaves giving a dense appearance and providing much cool shade in summer.  The leaves are finely and sharply double-toothed.  They are thin but firm in texture, dark green above a paler beneath, smooth with long pointed tips and rounded base.  In late Autumn they turn deep scarlet and orange.

I like my tree.

According to my book 'Searching for Hornbeam' Chris Howkins - 'it belongs to the birch family, also Hazel and Alder.  In early spring has bright green catkins and normally found in coppice woodland as gnarled little trees.  (My fiance says they are his favourite tree - full of character)  The wood was traditionally coppiced for a range of things from windmills sails to clogs.  Sounds like it was very hard wearing strong wood and was often used for charcoal as it burns hottest and longest.

Before I saw what tree I was, i picked one at random and found that much matched me.
So I think there is something for everyone in every tree.
Bit like a cold reading from a medium ;)
